Fun Facts:
- Halogen means "slat forming".
- These elements usually gain or share one electron when it reacts with other elements.
- Alone the elements are dangerous to humans but when they are combined the elements are safe for exampel - Though the elements are dangerous, compounds in Halogen are helpful in some way to nature.
Physical Properties:
- Chlorine is a greenish- yellow gas with a sharp smell.
- Fluorine is a pale green gas.
- Bromine is a stinky reddish-brown liquid.
Chemical Properties: - Fluorine when it touches your skin it burns you.
- Astatine is highly ratio active.
- They are usually found combined with other elements, because they have a high level of reactivity.
Halogen Family Periods:
-Fluorine period 2
-Chlorine period 3
-Bromine period 4
-Iodine period 5
-Astatine period 6
Halogen Family Group: The Halogen group is number 17
Common uses: -Table salt
-Sea salt
-to keep pools clean
